In this episode Joe talks to Raul Zambrano.

Raul is a listener and reached out to Joe to share his story. Raul talks about his upbringing in a very evangelical, fundamentalist school in Florida. He talks about the crimes committed at this private Christian school, how it influenced his thinking and the harm it created in the community.

Raul also talks about how the school's view on LGBTQIA people ended up (very negative), ended up having the opposite affect on him as a large portion of his client base is made up of queer people.
